When Yao Yikang, Deng Pu, and Fu Zhi led the Qiang cavalry and tiger cavalry battalions to enter the Yumen Pass, the bald tree function neither chose to fight nor choose to defend it, but abandoned the pass and fled, looking in the direction of the Western Regions.

The Xianbei people withdrew quickly, and there was no chance for the Shu army to besiege at all, when the Shu army arrived under the Yumen Pass, the bald tree function was already far away, and there was not a single soldier left in the Yumen Pass, and it was withdrawn cleanly.

The Western Regions have a vast territory, the environment is treacherous, in addition to the desert, countless are still deserts, only on some small oases, will inhabit some tribes and states, often thousands of miles of land can not see people, completely barren land, the living conditions are very difficult. There was a dispute over whether to continue to pursue Yao Gekang and Deng Pu and Fu Zhu. Yao Yikang was eager for revenge, seeing that he had the opportunity to slash the bald tree function, but let him slip away, Yao Yikang was really unwilling, now the bald tree function only has the remnants of a few thousand people, for Yao Yikang, it is an opportunity to beat the water dog, no matter how far he is chased, he must not be let go.

But Deng Pu and Fu Zhu have different opinions, thinking that the bald tree function can escape to the Western Regions, and if you want to pursue it, it must be a long journey, and now the supply of grain and grass for the Shu army is not sufficient, if you want to enter the Western Regions, you must first solve the problem of grain and grass, if there is no sufficient logistics support and the lone army goes deep, the difficulty is unimaginable, the pursuit of the bald tree function is important, but it must be implemented only if the logistics conditions permit. Yao Yikang's mood is understandable, but whether to enter the Western Regions or not, Liu Yin has to come up with an idea.

The two sides did not agree on the same opinion, and Yao Yikang could only stand still and send someone to report Liu Yin quickly.

Liu Yin learned the news that the bald tree function could escape, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, this time the bald tree function escaped to the Western Regions, it was indeed a failure, and it was probably a very difficult thing to find out the bald tree function from the vast Western Regions.

Yao Yikang insisted on marching, obviously because of his hatred for the bald tree function, but this is also completely in line with Liu Yin's interests, Liu Yin is also secretly considering whether to send troops into the Western Regions to pursue the remnants of the bald tree function until they are completely eliminated.

However, considering the difficulties of logistical supply, it is obvious that it is impossible for the army entering the Western Regions to maintain a high number of troops, and considering that the bald tree function may defect to a certain country in the Western Regions, the number of pursuers sent must be at least two to three times more than that of the Xianbei people.

Just when Liu Yin ordered to raise grain and grass, Deng Ai suddenly came to see him.

In Liu Yin's impression, every time he asks Deng Ai for advice, it is Deng Ai who Liu Yin goes to meet, at least Deng Ai takes the initiative to offer advice, and he has never had it once, but this time Deng Ai took the initiative to see him, which really made Liu Yin a little strange.

But strange to strange, Liu Yin immediately waved back and met Deng Ai alone in the lobby.

"I don't know if the wind is blowing today, can blow you out of Mr. Aida?" Liu Yin smiled humorously.

Deng Ai still looked like he was not shocked by the light breeze and humiliation, and said indifferently: "I heard that the lord is wantonly collecting grain and grass in Dunhuang City, and it seems that he intends to send troops into the Western Regions to pursue the bald tree function?" ”

"That's what I mean, I don't know what Mr. Ai thinks?"

"I think it is not suitable for the lord to march, just hold the troops at the Yumen Pass, and someone will send the head of the bald tree."

When Liu Yin heard this, he said with interest: "I would like to hear the details." ”

Deng Ai said calmly: "Didn't the lord hear about Guo Jia's plan to determine Liaodong?" ”

Liu Yin was slightly stunned when he heard this, he naturally knew very well the anecdote of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in Guandu, and it took a few years to annex Ji Qingyou and four states, Yuan Shao's two sons Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang After the defeat, they fled to Gongsun Kang in Liaodong, wanting to make a comeback with the help of Gongsun Kang's power. At that time, Cao Cao's chief strategist Guo Jia was seriously ill, and before he died, he wrote a letter to Cao Cao, if Er Yuan defected to Gongsun Kang, Cao Cao would not have to march into the army, but only need to stand still, and he could take Er Yuan's head. Cao Cao obeyed Guo Jia's plan, and sure enough, Gongsun Kang killed Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang and gave Cao Cao's head.

Guo Jia's clever strategy lies in the use of Gongsun Kang and Er Yuan's suspicion, Gongsun Kang and Yuan's were originally incompatible forces, if Cao Cao is pressed, Gongsun Kang will definitely unite with Er Yuan against Cao Cao, if Cao Cao has no intention of marching, Gongsun Kang naturally can't tolerate the second Yuan who has the heart to occupy the magpie's nest, so Guo Jia's dying strategy allowed Cao Cao's soldiers to pacify Yuan's last forces without blood and unify the north.

I have to say that Guo Jia, who has the reputation of a ghost talent, is also the most dazzling one among the stars in the Three Kingdoms era, even Cao Cao cried bitterly after Chibi, crying was not the hundreds of thousands of horses that were lost, but lamenting Guo Jia's untimely death, if Guo Jia can live to the battle of Chibi, then Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu may have to play on the side, if in terms of strategic means, in the former Three Kingdoms era, Guo Jia was second, and did not dare to call it first.

Deng Ai suddenly mentioned Guo Jia at this moment, which made Liu Yin's eyes light up, and he said with understanding: "What Mr. means is ......"

Deng Ai smiled slightly: "When the Xianbei people were strong, they repeatedly bullied the countries of the Western Regions, and these countries have long been resentful of the Xianbei people. And the countries of the Western Regions, such as Cheshi, Yuli, Weisu, Yanqi, Qiuzi and other countries, are just small countries, with no more than 10,000 people and no more than 1,000 soldiers, and these small countries must not be the targets that the bald tree function wants to defect to. Among the powerful countries in the Western Regions, only Wusun is the only one who is not bad, and if it is not bad as expected, the bald tree function will be voted to Wusun. Wusun for a long time for the fight for territory, and the Xiongnu Xianbei people in the scuffle, between each other grievances are very deep, bald tree function defected to Wusun, will inevitably be the suspicion of the lord of Wusun, if the lord of the army at this moment, will definitely let Wusun and Xianbei people put aside their grudges, unanimously to the outside world, if the lord does not move, the two tigers fight, there will be an injury, now the bald tree function is lonely, want to set off a storm in Wusun, it is not easy, so in the next assertion, the bald tree function must be defeated by Wusun, the lord only needs to sit in Yumen Pass, If you don't step half a step into the Western Regions, you can receive the head of the bald tree.
